We've heard your calls. Or rather, caught wind of them through the grapevine (and by grapevine we mean the 2023 Liveability Survey). We know farmers markets are your cup of tea. And, while Sienna Wood doesn't host a farmers market (just yet), we've found 3 awesome farmers markets near Hilbert that'll have you rounding up those reusable shopping bags come the weekend.
Fancy a Sunday morning stroll? Think that stroll would be made 10x better with a bag of fresh produce in hand?
We think so too. And, now that Summer is here to stay, what better time to head down to a farmers market? Think - fresh fruit and veg, baked goods, local artisan products… the list could go on forever. But, whether you're after fresh produce for the weekly food shop, or just there to grab a Sunday morning breakfast - we've got you covered. And the best part? You can get there in 20 minutes or less.
